Skovgaard and Park on climate risk framing in global green finance governance

Earth System Governance cover of publication, illustration.

In a new open-access article with the journal Earth System Governance, Jakob Skovgaard and Hyeyoon Park (previously the Department of Political Science, LU, now University of Stirling) analyze how global green finance governance institutions frame climate risks.

Based on a mapping of 74 institutions, the article shows that the dominant framing emphasizes climate risks to business actors, while risks to people and nature receive less attention. This framing is strongly influenced by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, created by the G20’s Financial Stability Board.

The article highlights how these framings reflect broader trends of climate capitalism and have significant implications for whose risks are prioritized in global governance.
